Fred Daly was a great ALP representative and a very witty man. On one occasion he was accused of having Munchhousen syndrome by the Member for Moreton. Fred stated that the baron was known for exaggeration which he was not guilty of. However, he did admit that he was subject to another of the Baron’s aberrations – that of talking to monkeys. He did this every day in Parliament. The Baron had also once claimed to have brought down 68 ducks with one shot. Mr Daly felt he emulated this feat frequently in Parliament by bringing down 58 galahs on the opposition benches with one well-aimed gag”
